Well, I 've gotten the message around here that I'm not appreciated, liked, welcomed, what have ya; that's why I'm annoucing my departure from RAF. It was interesting that despite after how much I tried to be friendly and contributive in the regualar threads, my karma never got above four, while newer guys got far ahead of me. It was in the debate threads where I learned trying to speak the unpopular truth can get you smitten down to 0, the only person I've seen with that rank. Also in said debates, I became exasperated at the amazing ability of a few to be shortsighted, closeminded and illogical. I also learned a few things about forum communities that have ...given me some pause about life.
Oh well, the point is-I'm not going to be that guy at the party that nobody likes and is oblivious to it so he never leaves. I wish you all the best of God's blessings, and thank you for your frindship.
Ton sincerement acquaintance,
John Thomas Hartley
PS-That's my name. I know I asked a few of ya guys to call me that.
-
aww don't leave!
-
Wait, no, don't leave!
-
yeah! Don't leave, venomwiththelongnam e.
yeah I know you said your name was John but I like venomwiththelongnam e.
-
Seriously, dude. I thought you were pretty cool...

I stay away from threads like religion, politics etc because I know it can be pretty heated as people can be really passionate about it. I don't know what's happened, but don't let it get to you.
You say what you want because that's how you feel, people have to get over that. They have their say, you have yours.
I will certainly notice if you're gone, because when I've seen you around the forum you've been nothing but a friendly guy.
You've done the right thing by telling us all how you feel, and now that's off your chest you and others may have a different attitude around here.
Just stick around for a while and see how it goes John..don't act on how you're feeling at this very moment :)
-
Yeah... what she said! Your awesome, don't leave!
-
dude, you cant just leave something like this because people dont agree with you
you need to get back on your high horse, stay here, and change your opinion (just kidding)
actually though, these are debates, just because we dont agree with some of your views on politics or religion or w/e doesn't mean we dont want you around
-
c'mon dude... plz don't leave... like kelly, i try to avoid the debate threads... but i have been burned a few times on the forum, but i never left...
-
we're all good people here on RAF, you don't need to leave
-
yeah dude i had no problem with you, you gave that sweet anime poster that makes my background sweet. :]

Yay! your (hopefully) staying!! Right? Oh and when I said that Venom was the RAFian that I disliked the most, I didn't mean you. I meant VenomSymbiote. From old RAF, and then came on here as StormRider. Sorries!
But um... I guess here's about me
I'm Anna Becht.
I live in Minnesota in the US of A
I speak American
I don't really care much for religion.
I'm 5 foot and weigh (as of today at least) 113 lbs. Meh, I'm sorta small for my age. :P

I long to be a medical examiner
I'm a pretty mean person actually and get called a smart ass a lot...
Yeah, that's pretty much me. :P
-
Stay, John, STAYYY! I'll miss you! You're always so polite to me, and you make sense most of the time, which is more than a lot of people *gestures towards self*!!
Pleeeeease do not go! Can't you see that we like you, here?
I'm Estelore, and you don't need to know any other name to know ME.
I live currently in Southern Illinois, in the United States, but if you ask me, I'll say that I used to live on another planet.
I speak English, Elvish, and some Spanish, and I can curse in seven languages, including Welsh.
I'm 5'0" tall most of the time, and 120-ish pounds in weight.
I'm a Christian, and my religion defines my whole being.
I have long, wavy, brown hair and storm-cloud-mist blue eyes.
I sunburn badly.
I sing soprano, mezzo-soprano, and alto, but I'm no great talent.
I play piano, clarinet, and violin like my life depended on it.
It does, in one sense. No, I'm not going to explain that.
I'm a fatalist/realist.
I keep a flower garden, where I can talk to God without being interrupted.
I own 689 books, currently, and I intend to own well over a thousand within the next three years. (Which isn't so 'out-there'. I bought nearly 200 books this year alone.)
I'm a genius, but I am learning social skills as I go. *wink*
I believe in respecting everyone until they prove that I shouldn't, and trusting nobody until they prove that I should. This has kept me alive in some very real, very dangerous situations, and I owe my father's advice for my current ability to breathe without a machine. No, I'm not going to explain that.
I have my secrets, but they don't change who I am.
I am more honest and more deceitful than anyone I know, and I can fool you without telling even one lie.
I love everyone, even those who hate me, and it hurts my soul to see someone sad or in pain.
I love God.
That's me.

John,
Since you were on earlier I hope you haven't given up on us completely. I hope you decide to come back, you're someone who's posts I enjoyed reading. You taught me cool things about American Pie and said you once told a shoe bomber joke in an airport.
I don't know what other people have been saying to you, but people's responses here are a real reflection on what people think of you.
In the spirit of the thread:
My name is Owen
I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire, although I am originally from Wales.
I can speak Welsh, up until GCSE standard
I have no strong religious beliefs, but I have seen religion as a positive influence in the lives of some of my friends
I actually have no idea of my height and weight, which is unfortunate because I need them for a medical form
I have brown hair and eyes, no interesting shades
I can dance the Lindy hop and the Charleston
I cannot sing
I have just finished my degree and I have no idea what to do with my life
I try not to take life too seriously,
I don't always succeed
-
OK, you guys win ;) :) :hug2: :thanks:
I think you all just saved me from the brink of RAFsuicide.
